I do want to show how the buffet I mentioned in my last post turned out. I stripped the top and restained it, then put 3 coats of polycrylic on it. The bottom is painted in a CeCe Caldwell paint, two coats of that, then waxed with Annie Sloan wax, and finally finished with CeCe Caldwell Chestnut mixed into a Valspar glaze. Geez, I managed to used a lot of products on this.
Just so you remember here is the before:
Here are some after photos:
The picture feature on blogger has changed since I last made a post. I'll have to figure out how to make the pictures big again and how to arrange them. Anybody have any tips on that?
I love it! It turned out beautiful!

PS
To get more comments and followers one thing I learned is to turn off Word Verification: go to Settings-Post and Comments- Show Word Verification- No. It is hard to read and people generally don't like it. Hope that helps get you more followers.
Thanks so much, Cecilia, for that suggestion. I didn't even know that was turned on. I always hate it when I have to go through that verification to leave a comment on other's web sites. I followed your directions, so I hope that I successfully got it turned off. I'm going to go check out your blog now.
